This is a review of another recording from Venezuela's Impery which shows the music going into more of an old school, melodic, satanic and occult black metal style and the album was originally released in 2017 and called "II - La Mirada Muerta De La Serpiente" which was re-issued in 2019 by Entocomophobic Records.
A very dark and ritualistic sounding intro starts off the album before going into a heavier musical direction. the riffs also add in a decent amount of dark sounding melodies while the faster sections of the songs also add in a lot of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams while the music also adds in a great amount of 90's influences. Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the guitar solos and leads being done in a very dark yet melodic style.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with one track being an instrumental and introducing ritualistic soundscapes onto the recording as well as all of the drum beats also being programmed, the music also has its atmospheric moments and as the album progresses a brief use of choirs can also be heard. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in Spanish and cover Satanism, Occultism and Left Hand Path themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Impery and if you are a fan of old school, melodic, satanic and occult black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Lilith Diosa Del Iniferno" "Altar de Fuego, Cruz de Fuego" and "La Mirada Muerta De La Serpiente". 8 out of 10.
